Retro Mani using Holo Taco ELECTRIC HOLOS! / STAMPING TUTORIAL

[@candacetoms4927]

I really appreciate that you took the time to find some great stamping plate options for people who don’t have the subscription. That was so thoughtful! I just appreciate the work that you put into your videos in general!

[@ColorExpression]

Of course, I want everyone to be able to recreate this without dropping a bunch of $$ lol. Glad you enjoy them Candace, I have so many more in store ☺️

[@Fayetality91]

I can't stamp to save my soul but seeing tutorials like this is helping up my game! Beautiful plate designs for these colors

[@ColorExpression]

LOL I bet you can if you give it another shot!! It's taken lots of practice to get where I am so far ☺️ thanks for watching, Faye!

[@Galafreyan]

I feel like this would make Christine proud - and no idea what you’re talking about! You have an insane amount of talent to not be doing this on gel polish!

[@lainieraines17]

I love seeing tutorials again!!! i feel like nobody does them anymore! love the talk-through and you have such a calming voice!

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed doing this manicure and being able to share the steps with everyone ☺️

[@FangedCutie]

So awesome. I 100% agree that it looks like those movie theater/arcade carpets. I love that. I love how much thought you put into this tutorial. Very detailed. That is amazing and thank you for taking the time to do that.

[@ColorExpression]

Haha I'm glad you like them! Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm so happy you find it helpful. I hope you give it a shot sometime 💖

Yesss totally!! Thank you for watching!

[@shannie666]

I’m frantically taking notes. This was so informative!

[@ColorExpression]

So glad to hear that!! ☺️🤩

[@cece_marie]

It looks great, and a helpful tutorial as well. I'm a brand-new stamper, and seeing the realtime work was brilliant. Also appreciate the tips on how long to wait for drying between the various steps, that's something that I feel like is often left out.

[@ColorExpression]

I'm glad I could be of assistance Cece! I am still fairly new and want to show the ups and downs of my journey to help people out 😊 thank you so much for watching!!

[@nuclear2na]

This was such a good tutorial thank you! I like how you clearly and calmly showed the various products and steps and available alternatives, without it getting tedious to watch.

[@ColorExpression]

I'm so glad to hear that - thank you for the kind words 😌💖

[@bossalou]

I love it! I definitely get those late 80's early 90's vibes from my teenage years. It's something I wouldn't mind trying this, but I have short nails. Maybe in modified form. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@ColorExpression]

I bet you could modify it for a shorter nail! You could do 2 color gradient bases and stamp over them, maybe! 🤔 Thank you for watching 🥰

[@tvanails]

I absolutely love this design 🥰

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you, Tina!! I had so much fun creating it

[@kateabis]

Thank you for showing us! I saw it in the other video and was like wow! How cool! Totally get Saved by the Bell vibes lol

[@ColorExpression]

Of course! I wanted to show that it's not too hard, just takes some time and patience! ☺️ thank you for watching

[@Mizzerella]

love that you made this into a tutorial.

[@ColorExpression]

thank you, I wanted to share so others could wear it as well!!

[@pnuthead13]

This was such a fun look! We are doing a neon pool party event soon and I may need to recreate this look. Also hoping that the Holo Taco team gives your tutorial a shout out. Finally…please do more reverse stamping tutorials!! 🤍💫

[@ColorExpression]

This would be so fun for a pool party!! Let me know how it goes if you try it out, that would be amazing if they shouted me out 😍 lol. I will continue to share my stamping journey! At least one video a month doing the Manixme box ☺️

Hi there! I’m a newbie subscriber and am so happy to be here. I love the content on your channel because it’s refreshing and of great quality. So thank you.

[@DianaTrout]

This is amazing! Great palette. And wow! Are you a designer? When you young’ns say retro, I see the Jetsons. I remember those graphics they used. Lol. The only thing I really saw in the 90’s were kids and work. Loads of fun in those days. of course I was listening to the music. I love you millennials, I’m always learning.

[@ColorExpression]

Thank you, Diana!! My designing is brought to life through nail art haha. I feel as though this could totally give Jetsons vibes 😀 I'm glad I can share my experiences with you through these videos, it's so fun! 💖

[@sgsummerisle]

I LOVE this mani. So funny how IN the 90s I thought these kinds of patterns were so cringey, but now I can't get enough of them! I watched this video a couple weeks ago and meant to comment but never got around to it. You give me such Bob Ross but for nail art vibes and I am so here for it xD I've actually been telling myself recently when my stamps are a bit off "It gives it a little character..." It's actually really helped my outlook, so thanks. Also, it was great chatting with you at the livestream today ^_^

[@emilyleung3522]

What a great and detailed tutorial! I never expected that there're stamping designs that looks so complicated in the best way. I love these "colour blocks" design with built-in special patterns! The way you mix in the different little patterns on your thumb and ring finger really brings the whole mani together too. Even though I'm still recovering from my failed traumatic stamping experience, I do think that you are helping to spark my interest again.

[@ColorExpression]

LOL @ the end of your comment 😂 I say try and try again!! The more you do it the better at the techniques you will get. And I totally agree that the ring finger & thumb somehow tie the whole thing together, I really love how they turned out 😎

[@melandloloveholo2519]

Yay thank you so much for posting this! Have you tried the holo taco long lasting base coat instead of the maniology one?

[@ColorExpression]

Oooh I haven't but I feel like the shiny-ness of the Holo Taco is similar! Maybe even before it's fully dry and then do a light stamp, I don't see why it wouldn't work 🤔 good idea Melissa 🤩

[@melandloloveholo2519]

@@ColorExpression thanks! I'll have to try it and let you know! 💅🏻

[@AppleToTheBee]

omg thank you for this!! I got stamping plates but i cant get them working to save my life. my guess is its because I dont have stamping polish? been using one-coat black from holo taco. More investigation needed! (orrrr you can attempt stamping without stamp polish for a future video for plebs like me who dont read instructions clearly LOL) I dont think ive said this but I LOVE that your lighting changes every video on your backdrop!! ive noticed that it changes to match the aesthetic of the polish you're using and its so good. Also I will watch the shit out of a legitimate ASMR video from you, you got the PERFECT soft voice to do it!

[@ColorExpression]

I would definitely try out a stamping polish! I tried OCB and it didn't pick up well at all, there were blank spots all over the design. I'm glad you like that little detail, I find it so fun to match them to the polishes!! Also, maaaybe someday, haha ASMR give me the heebie geebies 😂😂

[@prettygeekyandnottoogirly9958]

I LOVE IT SOOOO BADDD!!!! +1 for the silicone mat!! That's what I have! I buy a big one on amazon (it's one for baking but it doesn't matter ;P)

Thanks for this tutorial, your nails look so cool. I finally tried stamping, I kept it simple doing a white floral pattern over Olive Ave Pixy (pink with a little sparkle). Stamping really does elevate a mani, today will be a good day to play around with stamping. It's a rainy gray day here in Western Michigan, wishing you a wonderful day. Thanks again..

[@ColorExpression]

So glad you gave it a shot Grace!! It really does something else to the nails, it puts them on a whole other level. That mani sounds like it was adorable 🌸 we've got sun here, I'll try to send warm weather thoughts your way! 😊 Hope you have a wonderful day as well 💖

I already commented but: Since you like stamping I would recommend you check out 'Clear Jelly Stamper'. They do layered stamping plates, woch make it way easier (no reverse stamping needed haha). 🙈

[@ColorExpression]

Ooooh that sounds VERY enticing - I've seen some layered stamping stuff (i.e. Kelli Marissa's collar) but still need to grab something like that. Thank you so much for sharing!!

It does indeed! Not all of them, but any that haven't sold out ☺️ recent months even have the whole box available! I think it's worth it, I love being able to try things I maybe wouldn't on my own 😀

[@razorcatshark3223]

Just starting my stamping adventure and bummed I haven’t gotten the Maniology sticky base yet. Any suggestions as to alternatives? Thanks so much for making the process so relatable.

[@ColorExpression]

Oh you're going to love it Beverly! Before I got the sticky base, I used Orly Bonder and that seemed to work pretty well!

[@MinaLobo]

"...coach bus seat design..." 😂 WOW, what stellar work! I'd be grinning ear-to-ear if I managed to pull off this nail art, big kudos to you! Question: for the black accent nails, how long did you wait for one stamped element to dry before you added another? To me, it seemed like there was no waiting, just the time it took you to paint and pick up another shape but maybe it's just sped up?

[@Skittl1321]

Can't guarantee it's what he did, but stamps dry so fast, by the time you have the next one ready, you can usually stamp it

[@ColorExpression]

correct-o-mundo! they are practically instantly dry once you stamp them (in terms of stamping something over it again)

[@ColorExpression]

Exactly what Paint and Puzzle said! The small stamped designs are practically dry right away so by the time you scrape and pick up the next one, you are good to go. Also, I bet you could do it! It took me a few tries but the time & effort was well worth it. Thank you for watching Mina!
